Celebrity babies always seem to make the top of the fashion lists and I am often asked to share some of my more well known design projects. One of my favorite nurseries was the one I did with my neighbor Marcia Cross. She was on bed rest with twin girls Eden and Savannah so the design process was great. She knew she wanted a traditional look with hints of modern. In my new book The Well Dressed Home (buy your signed copy here) I would style her as classic modern.

The wall color was a special mix of pink and lilac that gave off a fresh and feminine look to the room, more lilac than pink. Crib bedding was from my Maidens Bouquet Collection Lilac and Blush were both used along with Cottage Stripe Lilac and Pink and Eloise Blush.

I used canopies over the cribs to create a cocoon like feeling since the babies were so tiny at first and it was double everything from gliders, rockers and changing tables with delicate butterfly mobiles.Window treatments were done with fun Cottage stripe lilac valances, pom pom trim and roman shades to block out the light. We also added custom cubbies from our Maidens Collection custom size for all the toys and goodies.

All in all it was a great experience, and Marcia was so pleased she said, “It is the best room in our house!”
